#5 of 1335 Possible tires for my Highlander 2WD Limited by goldston May 05, 2004 (12:21 pm)
Hello Connor, Thank you for taking the time and being so helpful to all of us. As stated in the header, I'm considering possible tires for my Toyota Highlander 2WD Limited. The vehicle is only used for city / highway driving here in Phoenix Az. 1. Geolandar H/T-S G051 2. Michelin Cross Terrain SUV 3. Goodyear Fortera HL Edition 4. Michelin LTX M/S I realize that is maybe to broad a field and that I may need to do some narrowing down from 4 to 2 choices to help you. But, any thoughts or advise is greatly appreciated. Also, price is not a problem, tires cost what they cost. My life is worth more than saving a few bucks. Best regards, Philip Replies to this message: connortirerack (May 07, 2004 9:49 am)

Hi Conner....welcome to the board! What would be a good replacement tire for a current model Accord sedan 4-cylinder other then Michelin? H/V rated Bridgestone Turenza's get good reviews on your site and you mentioned a Continental tire? The size is 205/60-16. I'm looking for good handling (dry and wet) and a quiet ride. Thanks!

#8 of 1335 Best Tire by boluca May 07, 2004 (9:49 am)
My wife drives a 2000 Infiniti G20 and will soon need new tires. The size is 195/65-15, H rated. It has BF Goodrich Touring tires on it now but I have always like Michelin. After reading some reviews I was leaning toward the Bridgestone Turanza LS-H or the Potenza RE950. We don't need a high performance tire. I want something quite, last at least 40,000 miles, good handling, and good in the rain. We might get some snow 3 days a year. What do you recommend?

Replying to: goldston (May 05, 2004 12:21 pm) Out of the four tires you have listed i would recommend them in the following order: 1. 225/70/16 Michelin Cross Terrain SUV -- 135.00 each 2. 225/70/16 Geolandar H/T-S G051 -- 77.00 each 3. 225/70/16 Goodyear Fortera HL Edition -- not available in this size 4. 225/70/16 Michelin LTX M/S -- 119.00 each The Michelin Cross Terrain will offer the best overall handling and ride quality. They are also rated at 65,000 miles so you will have them for some time. The Yokohama Geolander HT-S are also a very good tire. the down side in comparison to the cross terrains is that they will be slightly noisier and are rated at 55,000 miles. all four are good tires but i would rank them in the order as above. connortirerack.com Tire & Wheel Specialist The Tire Rack 877-522-8473 ext 269
